New book talks about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's less-than-fond farewell
India TodayFreedom for Prince Harry came with a price. A new book on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex lays bare the turmoil in the House of Windsor before the pair walked away from senior roles in Britain’s Royal Family. “They were a major draw for the Royal Family.” Scobie and Durand suggest that some palace officials were actually troubled by the Sussexes’ popularity and there were fears that more senior royals would be overshadowed. The couple’s plan to be part-time royals fell apart during talks with the family, and in January the queen outlined how the couple in March would step away from royal duties, at least for a while, but always remain part of the Royal Family. “This book is based on the authors’ own experiences as members of the royal press corps and their own independent reporting.” Harry’s departure was essentially uncharted territory for the House of Windsor.
